Crazy concept; don't tread on me!

This is a pretty radical suggestion so I won't be surprised if everyone shoots it down (and then begins stomping on it).

What if a level 1 city occupied one large tile (2 x 2) and all construction happened within the city, in a city layout window. In order to reach level 2, the player would be prompted to build an "expansion" on the actual map to expand the original city. If there was no room the city would not be able to gain new construction spots.

Ideas? Suggestions?

How is it handled now?  I'm sort of new to the forums and I only recently pre-ordered.

So cities would occupy less space on the campaign map, right? 

That seems more "realistic", and it would cut down on some of the wierdness when units move in/out/across large cities.
